Class Dismissed!
With a final prayer from our Christian ethics professor this morning, we the graduating class from Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary finished our four year seminary journey. It still hasn’t sunk in yet, but I am sure that when I wake up on Monday and realize that I am no longer a commuting student, the reality of my completing seminary will finally hit me. There are no more papers to write, no more journals to read and no more exams to study for. Thanks be to God for giving me the patience and ability to finish what was started four years ago. Next up is graduation on Friday, May 9th, and then a little bit of a rest before hopefully beginning my vocation as a pastor.
Congratulations to all of my classmates! It will be an honor to attend our commencement service with you, and to share in the joy of our accomplishment, always realizing that it is by God’s goodness that we have reached the conclusion of our time together.

Congratulations!!! After my last seminary class, I went back to my dorm room and cranked up my CD player…blasting “The Halleluia Chorus” as preformed by Soulful Celebration. It was quite a fun scene in that dorm hallway. And you know…no one seemed to mind the loud music.

Thanks Every one. Wow, I didn’t do anything like that Eric. I got in the car and simply drove home in silence. I was just too tired for any sort of celebration. The party will be next week after graduation. We have invited the folks from our home church and my field work church to a BBQ. That will be fun!
